Bug Description

gedit in oneiric-proposed breaks the snippets plugin:

    from windowactivatable import WindowActivatable
  File "/usr/lib/gedit/plugins/snippets/windowactivatable.py", line 29, in <module>

    self.type = self._type_from_python(type)

    raise TypeError("Unsupported type: %r" % (type_,))
TypeError: Unsupported type: <class 'gi.overrides.Gtk.TextIter'>

Some additional info:
foo = Gtk.TextIter()
works

bar = GObject.property(type=Gtk.TextIter)
trigger the above exception, is it supposed to work on pygi word, or is the snippet wrong?

Confirmed that it's fixed upstream. Test case:

$ python -c 'from gi.repository import GObject, Gtk; print GObject.property(type=Gtk.TextIter)'

Comment 4 points to the actual fix, we should also get http://git.gnome.org/browse/pygobject/commit/?id=bef8d385 for the corresponding test case.
